3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 4/3/19
James Harden is worth his slate-high salary in a potential shootout with the Clippers. What other high-priced players should be on your radar?

Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

Price: $10,500

This slate is absolutely stacked with high-priced centers, but we project Nikola Jokic for the highest fantasy score at the position (and the second-highest for any player), which is especially interesting while he sits priced $300 below either Karl-Anthony Towns or Andre Drummond.

Jokic's minutes have been volatile all season, and while he's played fewer than 31 minutes in five of his last seven games, he's still had at least 47 FanDuel points in four of the seven, averaging 45.3 per game.

His minutes have been low largely because of the blowouts he's been involved in, with the average margin of victory in those games sitting at 16.1 points. The three games decided by 10 points or fewer saw him average 32.3 minutes and 47.2 FanDuel points per game.

That discrepancy means that, even though the San Antonio Spurs are a tough matchup, they actually put Jokic in a great spot, since the Denver Nuggets are only 4.5-point favorites and he's likely to see a full workload.
